• Pass around a journal at your reception and ask guests to write a short note to the bride and groom. This will be a wonderful keepsake, more special than a high school yearbook!
• Have your mothers’ or grandmothers’ wedding bouquet duplicated by your florist. Be sure to take your florist a good photo. What a lovely way to honor a happy marriage.
• Save memorabilia from each step of your wedding planning. Gown swatches, ticket stubs, boarding passes, gown descriptions, and pictures. This will make a great scrapbook!
• Have your groom escort both of your mothers to their seats rather than an usher.
• If you have no ringbearer, have your flower girl carry the ring on a small silver tray.
• As a favor, give each guest a small candle. Attach a note requesting that they light it sometime & say a prayer for you and your new groom.
• Select a particular flower as your wedding theme. Make it your flower for life, keeping the sentiment of the day.
• Ask your parents what kind of music they had at their wedding. Use some of it in yours & include a dedication in your program.
• Send guests home with a tree seedling to plant in honor of your wedding. They will be reminded of your love for years to come.
• Use some greenery in your bouquet that can be rooted. (Ivy or myrtle) Start plants for your new home. (A royal tradition.)
• If the marriages of your parents or grandparents have stood the test of time, pay tribute to them by displaying their wedding photos:
